would you mind telling wat kind of "lomo" pics you expect?
there are quite a number of lomo cams out there and each with different results.

if u are expecting contrasty, saturated, reddish, blueish, yellowy pics and so on, you can achieve that by using slides and cross processed it regardless of using a lomo cam.

unsure what film is this, but it's taken with long exposure a.k.a the "B" mode or "Bulb" mode hence you can see the light trails.


this is taken with Holga cam with 120mm film. By using this camera, at times, you'll have a hard time finding the films from average shops out there and it can take only 12 or 16 pics in a roll. I think developing fee is higher too. But, with a little modification, you can also take 35mm with Holga, even with the sprocket holes.

and yes, if you want greenish and yellowish pics, you can't go wrong with kodak ebx.
like philipcs said, velvia will tends to lean towards reddish most of the time but it may hav some surprises under different lightning.

by looking at the pic below, you can't see the usual reddish produce by velvia, but indeed it was taken with fuji velvia 100


agfa precisa ct100, one of my fav slide, x-pro will give a saturated blue as usual.



and do not under estimate the power of negative films, it produces beautiful natural colors

fuji superia100


my fav negative, ferrania solaris 100


"maybe because i use greenish plastic slides which i found it in my grandfather's house could be wrong slide lol"
i'm not sure if we are referring to the same slides, but the slides we mentioned here is a type of film. are you referring to some kind of filters instead?

you are welcome. share with us your collection later

400 is the iso number. not really higher is better, it depends on usage. normally, the lower iso tends to give a finer grain.
but using high iso gives the advantage while shooting in a darker environment becos we can then use a faster shutter speed to avoid hand shakes.

if you want kodak ebx, check out the fuji store (foto mega) at wangsa maju. i think they still have stock now selling at RM17 per roll.

but do check out the lomo Colorsplash Flash or Colorsplash Camera, they should give what you expect.

Sample Pics of Colorsplash Camera
Sample Pics of Colorsplash Flash

basically, the two do the same thing by flashing colorful flash.

fisheye comes with fix aperture and shutter speed. if u wanna use iso 100 films, you gotta shoot under strong sun, if not use films with higher iso, maybe iso 400.

oh cos ... but not me

Uncle Chiewata went there. check out his shots @ lomography asia's forum.

--> http://www.lomographyasia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15217

none. hahaha ...
it should be the films itself rather than the camera.
120 cannot take 24 photos. it can take 12 photos.
220 is the extended version which can take 24 photos.


wat films r u looking for? if normal negative films, u can get in major photo shop.
if u want slides film, check out foto mega in wangsa maju, e-six and keat camera in pudu, photosun and ysphoto in ss2.
expired films, check out photography forums, sometimes some ppl might wanna let go theirs.

lomo l-case get from lomographyasia if not check out folio, mooks, rooms, but i doubt they have ready stock.

hahaha... i knew that u know the answer for sure. but i just wanna clear the doubts for others who have read voidbutterflyx's post.
btw... i think lomographer seldom use such a high end camera as u mentioned.

for holga equipped with 120mm, it can gives either 16 or 12 exposures depends on which mask is used.

Added on June 25, 2009, 1:08 amhip bag is ok mah ... cheaper too and u can carry more things with hip bag. in fact i prefer hip bag more than the L case.

RM5 for developing negative. RM8 for cross process. e-6 developing not sure. have not developing slide with e-6 before.
scanning is around RM7/8 per roll. cd is about RM4 i think, can bring ur own if i was not wrong.

they do have a special price for members (for printing).

check out from ebay if you wanna get holga, they are some sellers from HK selling at a much lower price.

diana can order from lomographyasia:

Diana F+
Diana F+ with Flash

there is no lomo in digital unless u photoshopped it, but tat will defeat the purpose of LOMO.
though digital seems to be cheaper in long run and you can immediately see the result.

but film to me is expect the unexpected.

bcos lomographers are not active here.
there are already two dedicated lomo forum which they usually hang around there.

yes ... provia is around tat price. RM25 - RM27.

yeah ... by scanner, if not, when u develop the film, u can ask the shop to scan for u.

depends on camera and films.
for example, fisheye camera gives u 180 degree view, holga 135bc gives u black corner and so on.
as for films, it gives u different color.

bb plaza - basheer bookstore, at level 3 i think

there's nothing of what is the best, cos everything is best
every cameras give different result.

lca is definitely worth the money, u'll love it

that isnt sold separately. try to get a second hand instead.

no and never for digi lomo.
i initially started as a digi cam user but hav slowly abandoning digital.
many would say u can use photoshop to produce the lomo effect but no matter how close it is, still, film processed lomo gives the best out of all.

you can start with cameras like uws or holga 135bc. it really depends on what you wan, if you want wide angle, get uws. if you want the effect of dark corner, get holga 135bc, if you want the round shape and curvy-like effect, get fisheye.

but out of all, my all time favorite is lca

right choice, no nico digi. remember that with films you always expect the unexpected outcome.
i once owned a Fisheye but sold it off, bcos it's not the type of camera that i want to shoot in long run.
yes, the circular image may looks cool and funky but then i shoot most in scenery and especially during travel, therefore i felt that fisheye doesn't suit me.

lca+ is about RM9++ to RM1K. optionally, you can opt for lca from ebay which is around RM5-6xx.

you can get fisheye from mooks or from online seller.

go for diana mini if you wanna shoot in 35mm.
if you want holga, get the GN version so you can attach it with different flash. the 35mm adapter is not cheap.
diana F+ seems to have more adapters than the holga, between holga and diana, i would opt for diana

generally, you can always get a better price with hk sellers.
i got mine from hk seller too.
at tat time, i ordered 3 cams and registered post cost me HKD110 which is only RM50+.

i scan mine, but nvr ps. tried to keep it as original as it can be.
if dont scan, how to upload to the web.

get canon 8800F, which can handles 120 as well. u can get a good price with sri computer. months and months ago i asked was about 700+-.
yeah ... digitize is better than digital lomo. to me, that's just a method of storage.

lomo is just a term, different people will interpret it differently. we just wanna shoot, that's all
